On 60 Minutes this Sunday Liz Hayes looks into a 2015 family murder and Allison Langdon looks at laws surrounding organ donation.

World Exclusive: The Killer Within
Henri van Breda had a privileged life, growing up in Perth, the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, and then Melbourne. A few years ago he and his well-to-do family moved back to their homeland in South Africa. Everything appeared well until one night in January 2015 when Henri’s mother, father and brother were murdered by an axe-wielding assailant. Last month, after an extraordinary trial, 23-year-old van Breda was found guilty of the horrific crime and will spend the rest of his life locked up. On 60 Minutes, Liz Hayes is given world exclusive access to the police investigation, and reveals the substantial evidence which proved van Breda was a killer. But just as remarkably, she also meets two people who still believe Henri van Breda is innocent. His girlfriend, Danielle Janse van Rensburg, and his aunt, Leenta Nell, say there is much more to this disturbing case than has already been reported, and that Henri is not a murderer, but a victim.

Saying Thanks
“Thank you” – two simple words Tatiana Johnson wants to tell Zane Urasli’s parents. She owes Brooke and Ibrahim Urasli so much, because when their little boy, Zane, was tragically killed last year they decided to donate his organs. As a result, Tatiana’s son, Mason, received new lungs and a new life. Four other lives were also saved. But there’s a dilemma: in Australia, it’s against the law for medical authorities to help organ recipients and donor families meet, even if both wish it to happen.
